WHAT’S ON WINTER 2019
Welcome!
Wanjoo
What’s On is the City of Fremantle’s quarterly guide
for residents and visitors to keep up to date with
everything’s that happening in the community.
Here you’ll find information on the City’s major events,
as well as programs and activities across libraries,
community and cultural centres, early childhood, youth
and senior services, health and fitness and much more.
We would like to acknowledge that our events and
programs are located on the traditional country of the
Whadjuk people. The land where Fremantle (Walyalup)
sits has always been a place of ceremonies, significant
cultural practices and trading.
Happy reading!
